Feminist attorney lauds ERA, criticizes Reagan
By Ketin Polk
The Equal Rights Amendment is the most important issue in legal rights in America, said Gloria Allred in a speech at the Faculty Center Thursday night.
A noted feminist. Allred spoke before a joint meeting of the Honorary Association for Women in Education at USC and the Society of Delta Epsilon, two support groups for the School of Education.
Allred, an attorney who has made frequent radio and television appearances, said “I can't think of any good argument against ERA. There is no good reason why women don't have the same rights which men are guaranteed by the Constitution.”
I-n an interview after her speech, she said “the election of Ronald Reagan is a tremendous setback for women's rights. He is opposed to the ratification of the ERA. He supports the Republican platform dedicated to the ban on abortions, and which proposes a litmus test for judges,” she said.
Choosing judges on the basis of the abortion question is a very important threat,” she said. “If Congress ever passes the amendment to ban abortion there will be a revolution.”
The significant conservative gains in the Nov. 4 elections could have some beneficial effects for the women's rights movement. “Now that we know what we are up against, we will be able to organize more effectively,” she said.
‘Nothing will motivate women like antiwomen stands." she said.
“There are less than two years until the June 1982 deadline for ratification of the amendment," she said. “Our energy should be directed at the unratified states. We're going to do everything we can to win it this time.”
The text of Allred's speech centered on “the truth about women's rights.” During her speech she covered such topics as equal opportunity, employment, rights for battered women and child support.
Allred cited several cases to support her belief that women are discriminated against.
A woman truck driver was given a defective truck to drive, she said, and the drive was beaten and raped when it broke dow n on the freeway. When the driver recovered and returned to work she was fired. Her supervisor told her “this is for your own good,” Allred said.
Another woman applied for a job as a clerk/typist. During the interview she was told to have a breast examination and asked whether she took birth control pills. “She wanted to be a clerk/typist, not a prostitute, and she had no intention of typing with her breasts,” Allred said.
Allred said young women today are not adequately prepared to face discrimination in later life. “I used to believe in the American dream, that one would be judged on one’s own qualifications in getting a job,” she said. “The very idea that this conduct can go on is a great concern."

Libraries rank 30th nationwide
Expansion of collections prevented by lack of space

The university library system is caught between its desire to improve its status and its lack of facilities.
The university library system is ranked thirtieth among the top 98 university libraries across the country in the Association of Research Library’s survey.
University of California at Berkeley is ranked second behind Harvard and University of California, Los Angeles, is ranked fifth. The rankings are based on the number of volumes held, volumes added, expenditures and staff.
“I would say the ranking is fairly accurate. 1 would like to see us increase the number of volumes added to 120,000. It would insure that we would keep up with the top univer-
sities in the country," said Roy Kidman, university librarian. “The top 20 that's where we should be.”
The added volumes would pose a problem. “If we had another 100.000 volumes we wouldn't have the space to put them and we wouldn't have the staff,” said Lynn Fipe. director of the Von KleinSmid library.
The education library was located in Doheny library but when the university received a grant it was moved and we had plenty of room. Now the library doesn’t have room for the audio visual material and equipment we would like to have, said Janet Henry, director of the Education library .
Our School of Education is one of the largest and we have a lot of administrators and people working on doctorates in this area that depend on this

library, Harvey said.
All of the libraries are full, Kidman said. Doheny library has approximately 60.000 square feet of space in the stacks area. The stacks hold 10 volumes per square foot and last year the total number of volumes held was 1.957,853.
A foreseeable solution to the storage problem may be in a University of California storage facility to be built on the Los Angeles campus.
This university would be able to store materials there and students would also be able to check out books from the facility.
“There has to be a general consensus between the faculty and the students as to the needs of the library.” Kidman said.

Commons chosen as film site
By Mitchell S. Rossi
The Commons cafeteria will become a film stage tonight and tomorrow when Geffen Films, Inc. films a Robert Towan movie. Personal Best.
“They picked the Commons because it looks serious,” said Lee Reavis, the Commons’ manager.
For authenticity the employees and students who work at the Commons will be acting in the movie in their actual jobs.
“I’m very excited,” said Steven Marshall with a broad smile. "It will look good on my resume.”
Marshall, an undeclared sophomore, plans to apply to the School of Cinema-
Television. He will portray a line-server behind the hot-food counter.
The film crew will set up the lighting equipment in the delicatessen when it closes at 6
p.m. After the cafeteria closes they will film until 5:30 a.m. This will allow the food services to continue normally. Reavis said.
Employee arraigned
A university employee arrested Monday night in connection with the shooting death of a man at a liquor store near the university was arraigned and charged with one count of murder Friday afternoon.
The suspect, Joseph Stewart, 62, allegedly shot Ramon Franco, 29. after their cars were involved in a minor traffic accident in the parking lot of the Trojan Liquor Market at 3000 South Vermont St.
Stewart turned himself into the Los Angeles Police Department, Southwest Division detectives shortly after Franco was pronounced dead at Western Park Hospital.
Stewart worked in parking operations.
